During Greg Abbott's speech to the GOP convention, he made no mention of rising health care costs, utility rates, or the fact that the American Dream is out of reach for too many Texans after 12 years of his failed leadership. The speech was just like Abbott: hypocritical, boring, and stuck in the past – 2026 will be his last year in office.

Texas ranchers are under attack from the new world screwworm and Dan Patrick spent the last legislative session focused on where people should use the bathroom rather than protecting ranchers’ livelihoods. Every Texan will pay the price at the grocery store. It’s time for change! Stand with us at Goodwin4Texas.com and vote this November. #Goodwin4Texas

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick says James Talarico is “going to Hell”: “I’ve never seen so much blasphemy from anyone running for office… He’s going to Hell, for sure.”

The Texas GOP convention is saying the quiet part out loud. I am a target, I am an enemy because of my faith, my skin and my heritage. They want people to believe people like us are un-American. But we will respond in the most American way possible. We are building a coalition of Texans from all faiths, races, creeds and economic backgrounds to defeat hate at the ballot box this November.

Texans know it's easier to stop a problem early than clean up a disaster later. That's why we need to take the New World Screwworm seriously before it spreads further and puts more pressure on ranchers, consumers, and our food supply. Let's get ahead of it.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation. According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events. Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise. Then came the admission. "There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events." A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story. That's a remarkable accusation.

Yet another complete failure of Texas leadership to let this happen. While Ken Paxton is suing toothpaste companies, he SHOULD be suing the federal government to immediately stop this destruction of Big Bend. I could post all day every day about the ways Republicans have failed Texas, and I STILL wouldn’t get around to everything. They have destroyed our state.
BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park. This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.

Scientists are warning that the water system is approaching a breaking point. Now isn’t the time to hand more water to the Corrupt Bigshots. No community, in TX or elsewhere, should have to wonder if there will be enough water tomorrow.

Our schools are in a dire situation. Bob and I agree, something must be done! A vote for Dan Patrick is a vote to send billions of Texas tax dollars to private schools. A vote for Vikki Goodwin is a vote to keep those dollars in public schools. Time for change. #Goodwin4Texas

Today, I joined @moralesfortexas in calling for swift action to protect Texas ranchers, livestock producers, and rural communities from the threat of New World screwworm. This is exactly the kind of issue state leaders should be responding to with urgency. A serious outbreak could put an entire industry at risk, threaten our food supply chain, and hit rural economies across Texas hard. As Lt. Governor, I will make sure Texas responds swiftly to threats like this and is prepared to protect the families, communities, and industries with livelihoods on the line.

Texas, this is not who we are.  Upon Trump's orders, children, who have done nothing wrong, are being imprisoned in Dilley.  ICE is ignoring the Flores Agreement that says children should not be detained any longer than 20 days at the most.  Conditions are deplorable, and no one is allowed in with cameras to verify.  Thank you, Congressman Castro, for your tireless efforts to bring awareness and to advocate for these children and families.  Why is this happening? The $180 million annual contract with CoreCivic plays a large role. What will I do about it? When I'm Lt. Governor, we will shut this monstrosity down.  #Goodwin4Texas cbsnews.com/video/children-h…

Today, I’m mourning the loss of Sylvia Collins, a longtime Precinct Chair, community advocate, and dedicated Democrat who spent decades serving Dallas and the broader DFW community. Sylvia believed deeply in public service and in showing up for people. She brought compassion, energy, and commitment to the work, and she helped strengthen our party and our communities through years of steady leadership and advocacy. Her impact will be felt for years to come by the many people she mentored, organized alongside, and inspired. My heart is with Sylvia’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. She will be deeply missed.

Even Greg Abbott admits it, Bo French doesn’t know the first thing about oil and gas. The runoff is over, and November is locked in, an experienced mechanical engineer vs. a candidate whose own party warns would wreck Texas energy. We need competence, not chaos.

I like this answer. Another good answer might be: I’d rather be a vegan than a criminal. Or, I’d rather vote for a vegan than a criminal. Ken Paxton is a criminal, impeached by members of his own Republican Party in the Texas House.
Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

I filed a bill to create a fund for mental health services. My hope was to increase the number of school counselors. Revenue would come from a slight increase in the sales tax on the sale of ammunition. Mass shooters don’t spring up overnight. They often have a history of bullying or being bullied. They often send up red flags in advance. We need to recognize and address those red flags when they first appear. What solutions does Dan Patrick have? #Goodwin4texas
Despite BILLIONS spent to station police officers on every campus in Texas, there’s no evidence that school hardening has diminished firearm violence. And now, state-installed officers have pepper-sprayed and tasered students for minor misconduct. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

Tonight, Texans chose a politics rooted in decency, dignity, and the belief that our state belongs to all of us. Thank you to every volunteer, voter, supporter, neighbor, and friend who made this victory possible. This campaign was built block by block, conversation by conversation, and community by community. Now, we keep going, for public schools, affordable housing, accessible healthcare, clean water, and a Texas that is kinder, safer, and more hopeful. Let’s win this thing. #GoodwinForTexas
